Helpful Hints
•When mixing liquids, especially hot liquid, add small quantities at a time to reduce spillage.
•Ingredients should be added to the mixing bowl as they are specified in the recipe.
•Use the mixing speed that is recommended in the recipe. Use the speed control dial of the mixer to help you find the correct speed to use.
•If times are specified in the recipe, use them! BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERMIX. Overmixing can cause the mixture to become
very tough.
•Should an object, such as a spatula, fall into the bowl while the mixer is operating, turn the mixer OFF immediately, then, remove the object.
